Search a contact by phone number ?

Hi,

The feature is probably in red blinking in front of me, but I don't find a way to search by phone number (either on the simple or advanced search).

Any suggestion more than welcome.

I don't see it in the advanced search either, but I have used it in the search builder and it works pretty well. The only issue might be with how your phone numbers are formatted in the data base. Have you tried search builder?

Hi,

First, thanks, I was already prepared to have to give up smoking/drinking and other perception altering occupations that I was tempted to blame because I didn't find the phone attribute ;)

Yes, the search should be able to get rid of the spaces and (xxx), deal with the country codes, both as 00XX (the european format), +XX (the more or less standard that none of my users have adopted), and the lack of country code.

I feel that's going to be funky to test ;)
